Did you actually bother to read WP:Sock puppetry? Nowhere is blocked users mentioned, nor is using it to get the attention of an admin. It does however
Well, apart from this sentence: "Users who are banned from editing or temporarily subject to a legitimate block may not use sock puppets to circumvent this. Evading a ban in this manner causes the timer on the ban to restart, and may further lengthen the ban."
That difficult-to-find paragraph was under "Circumventing policy" which was under "Prohibited uses of sock puppets". Section 1.3 if you still can't find it.
mention use sockpuppets to engage in edits wars is clearly a violation of the rule, which does include TJive.
Let's not worry about TJive ok? Trying to get someone else banned is unlikely to help your case.
No, it showed a severe double standard in Blnguyen's policies towards users with the same political opinion versus the ones who doesn't. Does this admin even follow WP policies regarding blocking?
Double standards are actually ok. Admins get in trouble when they block for the wrong reason, but failing to block at all is not a problem - another admin could always do that.
I've been blocked 24 hours for this already, thus I cannot be punished twice for the same offence.
For exactly the same instance of the same offence? I'd agree that you *shouldn't* be punished twice for the same offence, but there's nothing that says you *can't*. It's all up to admin discretion.
Why? Admins such as Blnguyen and Tony Sidaway refuse even to talk to me, and openly sided with TJive, that somehow this vandal's "evidence" is all that needed to block me. Kunguadam already unblocked me, and Blnguyen simply reblocked me to engage a wheel war.
If they refuse to talk to you, it's probably because they've formed a reasonable opinion that you're not worth your time. Wonder how that happened. Well, there are still some more avenues, but most of them involve admitting you were wrong, accepting that the admins were right, and promising to do better in the future. Or, there's always myspace.com.
